**Short Homestead**, also known as the James Baxter House, is a historic home and farm located near [Georgetown](/source/Georgetown,_Delaware), [Sussex County, Delaware](/source/Sussex_County,_Delaware). The earlier section is dated to the mid-18th century, and is a two-story, three-bay, double-pile brick structure. A two-story, two-bay frame wing was built in the mid-19th century. Both sections have gable roofs. The house was once the center of a 500-acre plantation. The house was "modernized" in the late-19th century.[2]

The site was added to the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1982.[1]
